new song russia and iran the world this is see with me thanks for joining us syria's civil war teetered on the brink of international conflicts after take it turns to nato and the un over an unprecedented fire exchange between the countries ankara has struck targets in syria in response to the mortar shelling of a texas border town which killed five civilians his policy has a story turkish forces launched artillery attacks against syrian targets there's a follows a mortar bomb from syria that landed in a south east turkish village earlier in the day now it landed in a residential building killing five members of the same family and wounding another nine in the turkish prime minister has said that the turkish response is in line with the rules of engagement now for some time we have seen an escalation of tensions between turkey and serious. certainly what we're witnessing now is just an

intensification of this at the same time what we're hearing from turkish leadership that they will not allow what is a perceived attack on their territory to go on said nato member states have been meeting in brussels where they've issued a statement saying that they stand by their member state turkey they are demanding an immediate end to what they have turned aggressive acts against turkey and in the same statement they have called on syria to end flagrant violations of international law now that is a quote syria for its side has issued its condolences to the families of those who were killed by the small to bomb the has fired from syrian territory at the same time what we are hearing from the syrians is that they have opened an investigation but no details yet in terms of what that investigation has yielded what we do know though is that the syrians in the statement emphasized that they do respect the sovereignty of neighbors and they have urged governments and i'm quoting again to

act wisely and rationally it is important to note that this nato meeting in brussels did not happen under article five now that is an article that would require member states to act immediately instead it is happening under a much more toned level under article four and according to that article the country that has called for the meeting in this case turkey indicates that it does believe that its territorial integrity could be threatened but it certainly is not saying that it is under attack there is concern though that turkey in calling for those nato meeting might use this latest incident as an excuse to further put weight on that score for a no fly zone turkey for quite some time has been calling for a no fly zone to be implemented in syria and of course is growing concern that the no fly zone will ultimately lead to foreign intervention. and serious to locked in a civil war the government says it's investigating the origins of the deadly attack

on the turkish village but some experts in turkey a thing the incident plays into the hands of some regional figures who are eager to see ankara drawn into conflict with syria we only know that the mortar has been fired across the border and we don't know what the deliberately or accidentally we don't even know who fired it there's been no proof that it was the syrian army that shot at you could be a prosecution i mean no really know there's been a steady increase intentional on that border for a long long period of time. that people have taken positions on the situation and we also know there are very very many unstable governments which are anxious for turkey to kind of take this kind of action and pass over as one. another so they will be weighing up the costs and the benefits tomorrow jake. kind of policy on syria is not popular in this country is drawing domestic opposition to the government's line on syria so i think that you see for the government to kind of kind of succumb to the temptation taps. and kind of take part in some kind of

operation across the border to great no would be truly unpopular inside. thanks change of fire on the turkish syrian border comes in the wake of a spate of terror attacks ripping through the conflict on country's largest city after forty people have been reported killed and many more injured after a series of car bomb explosions in central that took place in a government controlled area and apparently targeted and nearby a military facility there was no claim of responsibility for the bombing but damascus blames the rebels who masterminded similar attacks in the past and i'll say manisha discuss they were sent violence where they rocket prime minister nuri al maliki says a noble whelming approval of the rebels by some international players instigates more violence and hampers peace efforts. definitely take place as we concern. and about the syrian problem first of all the split in syria

affects us the ongoing situation has repercussions on iraq we will discuss these issues with russia in order to decide what we have to do to make the existing initiatives work that is the first arab league resolution the guidelines of the geneva conference which go to prove that a military approach is in a political and arms supplies to the government forces as well as the opposition should be cut off we wanted to work unlike those perverted decisions approved during the foreign ministers meeting unfortunately a number of countries have been taken in these recommendations and keep supplying syria with weapons which worsens the situation. still coming out for your best intentions lead to big problems for the supporters of julian assange a british court case they whistle blowers sympathizers in the dark as it postpartum is the ruling on the fate of over two hundred twenty thousand dollars of bail money put in jeopardy by asylum bet. the gloves come off in the first u.s. presidential election debate with busby trami and the broncos bomber attacking each

other's remarkably similar policy proposals. this later but now u.s. authorities have charged eleven people with illegally selling my car and tronics hardware to russia a company headed by u.s.s.r. born businessman is accused of funneling fifty million dollars worth of technology out of the country for the russian military the sophisticated electronics are subject to export restrictions since they can have wide military uses on his main apartment raises the details from new york. according to the u.s. justice department alexander. they say was operating a spy network that was based in houston and that according to u.s. officials enhanced the capabilities of the russian military now for shango and ten others were charged with falsifying documents and illegally exporting high tech u.s. made microelectronics to russian military and intelligence agencies according to

the f.b.i. since two thousand and eight they say that it was allegedly using his company are collect tronics to secretly export goods such as analog to digital converters static random access memory chips microcontrollers and microprocessors now the reason this is all so important is because u.s. officials say that that type of equipment is subject to strict u.s. government controls due to their potential use in a wide range of military systems u.s. officials say that russia does not even produce many of those who would say that they say for schenkel was sending does not produce that domestically and now again we need to underscore here that what the u.s. justice department is saying is that these goods were being exported without notifying the u.s. government or the department of commerce that of course this isn't the first time we've we've heard about these these so-called spy ring russians firings being broken up by the f.b.i. or the u.s.

department of justice back in two thousand and ten and chapman was one of ten. russian spies that the u.s. says were working in the states to try to gather intelligence and send it back to moscow. mcnabb explains these sentences the facing and they have it is the department of justice has presented. and dikembe it is nothing more than allegations brought by the u.s. government against a defendant they did prepare very detailed letter the letter of which i have with me it's odd eleven page document a letter that says that but the u.s. government has overwhelming evidence with regard to the defendants but the defendants are facing up to twenty years on each count each allegation and there are twenty five allegations but so there's a serious the letter was signed by two department of justice trial attorneys who

are in the counterespionage section of the department of justice the united states government also should cured see the secret. foreign intelligence value of. the. wire. and so they're the u.s. government is pretty good. as being a counter espionage tell us that for them to have gotten five so warrants they had to go on to a special court fifes a court you know order to secure the forts intelligence wire and circular stamps and you can guess in depth coverage of this star on our website and here's what else is that. the author of prizes is getting creative in europe find out why this mind has found himself on top of st peter's basilica in rome with the help sign. while in paris admirers of the venus de milo are exposed to an alternative display

of the female form base time by the infamous seven x. his current. average court has delays its verdict on whether the juvenile some just supporters will be allowed to keep more than two hundred thousand dollars they put up as bail for the whistleblower the money has been in check. after a son was granted political asylum in ecuador. is that where the details were supposed to be decision day for that group of julian assange supporters. one hundred forty thousand pounds as a surety when he was bailed back in december two thousand and ten but the judge said that it would be another couple of days before a decision was reached as to whether or not they get that money back now of course is an incredibly complex case in fact there were two groups that put up money back when julian assange and his extradition case was going on one group provided the up

from bail money and previously we've discovered that they lost that money that was the two hundred thousand pounds being gone this new green nine people they put up the money at the time as a sort of guarantee. would comply with the conditions that the court has set now this is all surrounding of course his need then to claim asylum and of course is just a completely exceptional case and this is the point that the court heard today was that you know it was completely unpredicted none of these members kidded foreseeing that coming out just to remind fears of the background to this case julian assange is fighting extradition to sweden where he's wanted for sexual assault allegations questioning it a sexual assault allegations that. process here in the case fails and we then saw in a very dramatic twist julian assange claiming asylum seeking asylum from ecuador and he was he was granted that but the u.k. have refused to say far to grant him safe passage and so the case continues that

they all very much stood staunchly behind that decision to put the money for even though it's a huge amount of money that they stand between that night as we said one hundred and forty thousand pounds is not just. using money on this at the moment the taxpayers rules like putting a huge bill to keep g. it sounds this case is in passports in u.a.e. eleven thousand pounds they live on police protection surrounding that and this they say yeah it is raising he's questions about that because everyone very very much wants the diplomatic headache to come to an end the e.u. budget committee is expected to vote through a new near ten billion euro increase in brussels funding for next year the proposal coming amid raging us territory cross the euro zone has caused a widespread outcry across the continent and while they was take countries greece international lenders are now struggling to negotiate a fresh gas package and despite the financial strain the greek government is still

planning to build a multi-million euro formula one racing track vestment advisor patrick young says the timing couldn't be where. this is just absolutely insane and of course greece should be promoting tourism but surely this should be promoted tourism and all of those beautiful engine artifacts that come from the greek civilization which was probably the last time that they actually managed to have the economy in balance rather than sitting here and trying to build another incredible pillar of the empire of formula one i'm all for motorists but i don't see why greek pensioners should be starving that a point in time of the one hundred million euros worth of tarmac for the formula one so what we have is you know the troika these people who come along and demand cuts they've been coming for the last several years every time they go away they think they've got to do. to stick to it so this time around they really finally got to the point where they realize well they might make a deal that might not make it do but actually we've got all these facts coming along ridiculous pieces of information the greek government is just going to

control it is the ultimate vodka object in a pool of vodka. and formula one racing is far from the concerns of most ordinary greeks two years of constant taxes have drastically increased the number of families who can't even afford to raise their children on his piece on a report on a charity trying to sheld to show to young people from the crew. too young to understand why but on the front line of the debt crisis rampant unemployment in greece and the slashing of social benefits as left their parents with money to provide even their most basic of needs for may seem unthinkable has happened these children being taken into care. for during the past two years we have seen a large rise in the number of children coming to us because their families can't support them as taxes in prices have risen things like food clothing schooling and housing have become too expensive. before the financial crisis this children's

village which is run by the organization s.o.'s children usually looked after kids who'd been the victims of abuse now they say almost all new cases are as a result of the debt crisis this center privately funded through donations is also feeling the pinch. we've seen a significant drop off in donations people give what they can but that is getting worse and worse also we are taxed on what we receive making it more of a burden to buy things we need like fuel for heating. the charity says there's been a seventy percent increase in requests for help this children's village is home to forty youngsters near to thessaloniki and it's operating at close to maximum capacity i'm a grandmother who asked not to be identified because of the stigma attached she says she was forced to give up her young daughter after losing her job. it was

a norful decision to have to make what could i do there was no money and no work i asked her if she thought they would ever be reunited as a family. things are going from bad to worse here it could be ten years before greece's back seat s.o.'s children makes a point of trying to keep youngsters in contact with their biological parents for this family that means one emotional meeting once a month. organizations like this one of becoming increasingly important to help protect a generation of children ripped from their families due to greece's financial failings. the children's villages organized into houses of four to five children each house has an s.o.s. mother it's their job to bring the kids and bring them together as part of a new family. it's important that they learn

a sense of routine these children have had very difficult backgrounds and here to see them unite and work as a team in this house it's very rewarding to see them grow up. with the greek government having to make fresh cuts of over ten billion euros the children's village expects to be receiving more pleas for help in the future for this mother and daughter the help they get allows them to appreciate the fleeting moments they can spend together peter all of a party greece. the first of three televised u.s. presidential election debates is now with barack obama and mitt romney facing all of this for hundreds of millions of viewers these themes today were jobs taxes and health care at all close to the heart of americans and stagnant economic times and for more what more sad let's cross to our she's again actually check out so you heard it what are your thoughts on the debate. hello to you while the debate

focused on domestic issues mainly the economy there was a lot of back and forth about who's going to be painful what and how they both gave different numbers citing different studies at some point it got kind of confusing but in general it looked as if one would say he wants to raise taxes and the other one would grow we know he wants to raise taxes or we need regulation and the other one would say i agree so in the congress that this debate be agreed on a lot of things but the devil is in the details of course but if they try to get the tails and nowhere is it got even more confusing but in general my general impression was that romney as a former c.e.o. was kind of better at juggling the business talk he actually did better than many thought he would almost exclusively because that we coverage under president obama has been has been slow this country's running a huge deficit gigantic guess more than sixteen trillion dollars that's one hundred four percent of the nation's g.d.p. but president obama's main argument was that mr romney wants to go back to the same policies that will end it if you were all for that matter. into the economic mess

four years ago that everybody is still struggling to recover from a place you could. tell a small any gas as to who came out on top of that. well as spyros holds for now in most states president obama is leading in polls all the way a small margin they are pretty much neck to neck in most polls but it's important to mention essentially to our non american audience that in the u.s. a candidate might win the majority of the popular vote and still lose the election because it's not the popular vote it's the so-called electoral college that's the size the outcome of the presidential election year every state gives a candidate a certain number of points and the winner has to collect its magic number of two hundred seventy points so even if a candidate loses a state by say just three months they get zero point so that we have a very peculiar electoral system which is not really above the will of the majority

so not only are the americans stuck with just two choices because it's essentially a tool horse race system but also they are not hearing you get the president that the majority of american voters have cast their vote for one more thing almost half of americans it turns out identify themselves as independents one of the forty percent supportive of the candidates the fact is that there are other candidates in this presidential election but they've been there before that out of the major debate so very few know anything about them they're not even on ballots in of states because different states have different requirements essentially designed to keep a cool horse race now how democratic is that that's a discussion a very few people in america want to have known. now as he's going to trick our reporting there live thank you very much and let's get more reaction on the debate with kevin zeese director of the center of the come home america group i should say mr aziz hello there so it was mentioned in the debates that me trami wants to

increase u.s. military spending by two trillion dollars so is that necessary do you think no i think the opposite we should be. moving in the direction of cutting our military budget which is one trillion dollars a year that's as much as the whole world combined spends on the military so we can't have the kind of economy military spending that romney is talking about and have a successful economy at home but i think on a broader point this debate showed the american people will not get solutions that probably face from either of these parties when it came to jobs neither one of them talked about really creating jobs that would poured over programs that would create jobs we know what job creation is we've seen it happen before and that impression f.d.r. create all sorts of jobs at the fastest drop in unemployment none of them talked about that nobody talked about regulating the derivative market which is bigger than the whole world economy for it's an unregulated mess could collapse economy

even further if no one's all of the breaking of the big banks and when it came to health care was just mistaken after misstatement romney claiming we get the best health care outcomes in the world when in fact the world health organization's worth it says we're thirty seven from the world we can help outcomes when last we have one hundred thousand deaths we've been prevented every year if we had a health care problem like any of the top three in the world and yet we don't have that no one discussed a single care health care system so this debate showed how out of touch the two candidates are with the american people and with me needs in this says the american people and you only had a handout about the size he wants to trim defense expenditures do you see that happening because he's opponent says any reduction to matric spending would compromise america's national security they military does show a complex is one of those major corporate interests that obama serves very well he rather he increased weapons sales from about twenty six billion a year to over seventy billion a year he's

a tremendous arms dealer he increased the military budget every year he's been in office to record after record increase the intelligence budget every year has been office to record after record. same with the homeland security budget so that's not obama's history and i think that was probably the problem for obama today by the way he was stuck in his record he couldn't on like romney who could make all sorts of promises and. you know create images and fantasies of what he's going to do to create jobs and and save the country obama started a record and he can't just say he's going to do things he hasn't done them and. obama. wasn't brought up in this debate was foreign policy how different are the kinds that he's in that regard. the next debate that we have with these two candidates where they're not very different at all you know president obama. drone commander and she uses kill more people drones and we could ever imagine george bush if you start wars in in a country like libya where there was no u.n.

mandate no congressional leaders. yes going to afghanistan. to do the same thing they're both taking nothing on the table as far as attacking iran they both see russia as obama's and serco graham obama's also in circle china and he's also increased their military presence the united states and. so on all these military issues they're both aggressive supporter of the u.s. military empire and i don't see either one of them are coming back the military. kevin zeese director. america group thank you very much thank you very much. and in venezuela the country's two presidential candidates to the home straight ahead of the sundays and the action and it's about his ministry has started to set top putting stations ahead of the upcoming ballot incumbent is this and he's positioned rival states that ronnie's on tuesday during that final week of

campaigning. as needing in the majority of polls has been attacks by mainstream media especially over his foreign policy many believe this is the most contested basile for the top. in venezuela and. in somalia african union troops have bolstered that control in the form of our kind of links to boston and wednesday they managed to secure the people see here after almost a week of fighting over key facilities somalia has been riven with political chaos since one thousand nine hundred ninety one but is being supported by the african union and troops to try and restore order. for business with marina so is there anything happening at the center stage of the day marina will definitely know a year and russia are not in europe or the u.s. bought asia is trading the only war right now and there was seen that stocks are going nowhere that's despite the fact that there was some pressure on the markets as energy shares sold down because of a tomboy in oil prices more on that in

a second but i exporters are provided support in japan and banks in australia and you can see the figures there now if you move on and take a look at oil prices are mention that there was a tumble where prices are bouncing back now from eight sue month low and all of this was sparked by concern for demand while production is on the rise in the u.s. towards biggest consumer and economic data coming out from europe and china suggests that that there might be some issues with global demand to move on and start to look at the u.s. stock markets are closed that they ended what is they session as you can see they're flat positive and all this was mainly a result of tracking gains overseas and also we had r.b.s. result in the jobsite there now one point to mention the packard shares plunged to its hand the year low and that's after it's all said that it will take some time to restructure the company move on to look at the russian markets is less than two hours out and so investors saw the trade in sasha and all the ones that the end of

the session lower because of lower oil prices naturally ok when it comes to currencies let's take a look at what's happening with the euro so the euro right now is strengthened against the u.s. dollar. one states who saw the ruble against the currency basket and the latest in the us measures from major economies that little to help the case and this fall to central banks. and he explained what the us and currency needs to grow. a lot of. what the freezing are you don't see the difference in real soon in logical balances it's a once. you know first wave all the sort of the markets like this looking up would have seen this perpetrator for the last known very much for example of what it was the president going to get the look on one person soon to be up to for instance zero zero balance it would open to all borders to help. and there you have

it more scores like star in the lower right arena will see that ok coming up these talks to roll bit skidelsky can only historian award winning also professor of the family of austerity and how human nature should be functioned into government's economic policy. well. it's technology innovation all the latest developments from around russia we've got the huge earth covered. in a good leverage or two mccurry was able to build an age most sophisticated reading which on politically doesn't give a darn about anything change mission to teach music religion and why it's.
